Personal Description:

I am originally from the UK and am currently working as a Research Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. Before that, I worked as a Research Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Alberta and as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Neurophilosophy laboratory at McGill University (Departments of Psychiatry and Philosophy). I have published my research in peer-reviewed journals and presented at conferences around the world. **Removed By Admin** I have a PhD, MA (distinction), and BA (first class honours) in philosophy.

Tutoring Experience:

I have been teaching at university and college level for about ten years. So far, I've taught philosophy of psychology, philosophy of mind, existentialism, ethics, feminist philosophy, essay writing, logic, and English (including TOEFL).

I have taught at McGill University and the University of Alberta, as well as in the Humanities Department at Vanier College (pre-university program and continuing and adult education). Before, that I taught in sixth form in the UK (16-18 years).

Tutoring Approach:

I work to make sure my students have a thorough understanding of the material through a variety of different learning techniques: short written responses; question and answer sessions; creating new examples to explore difficult concepts. It is important to me to understand the different obstacles to understanding faced by different students and to work through those together. Having graded many essays at university and college level, I have a clear idea of what teachers and professors and looking for, and how students can improve the clarity and quality of their written work.
